Alright I'll give that a try later and come back with me results, thanks for the help so far

Yeah I think that may be more accurate. I can't create a partition due to not being able to shrink the existing one.

I'm using just the standard disk management software built into windows, I don't really know what other programs there are for me to try that would be better. Here is a screenshot of exactly what's being shown to me when I try to make a partition by shrinking the drive. My theory is that it's because I have data on both ends of the drive, as shown in the image in the original post. But I could be totally wrong. I also don't know how to check if the file system other than using Disk Management, which says NTFS.

obviously, I'm not retarded. That's why I'm asking for other alternatives to fix my problem.

I've decided to finally dual boot linux, rather than running it on just my laptops and in a VM. I cleared my SSD to 50% so I could give it a 64GB partition, but when I went to create the partition, it only let me make one up to 2 gigs. I thought maybe it was to due with where the files are and how fragmented my SSD was. I opened Defraggler and it's obviously a mess, I ran the optimize task to see if maybe that'll help, but it ended up just bringing my potential partition down to 0 mbs. Obviously you aren't supposed to Defragment your SSD, and even when I tried because, it shouldn't really cause much damage, it estimated 12 hours and kept growing. Anyone know of any ways around this or methods I could use to better fix this? It's an SSD, it's not like fragmenting it will really slow it down. But the datas all over the place I can't partition.
